The Lions continued to makeover their offensive and defensive lines today, drafting South Carolina defensive end Devin Taylor with their fourth-round pick, No. 132 overall.

Taylor, 6-foot-7 and 266 pounds, had three sacks in 13 starts for the Gamecocks last year while playing opposite Jadeveon Clowney, the presumptive No. 1 pick in next year’s draft.

The Lions lost three defensive ends this offseason - Cliff Avril and Lawrence Jackson left as free agents, and Kyle Vanden Bosch was released – and they’ve replenished their line with three pass rushers so far.

They took BYU’s Ziggy Ansah in the first round Thursday and signed Jason Jones as a free agent. Willie Young and Ronnell Lewis, both backups last year, also are on the roster.

Through four rounds, the Lions have spent three of their four picks in the trenches. They took offensive guard Larry Warford in the third round on Friday.
